Thornwolf Smash!
I'm an artist, and sometimes I would rather get my art professionally printed on larger scale than do it on my crappy home printer, so unfortunately I sometimes have to subject myself to the service at copy shops. The most widespread of these, of course, being Kinko's has ironically the worst service of the lot as far as I'm concerned, and today's experience was just the icing on the cake that makes me not want to go to Kinko's ever again for so much as a pack of nifty colored stationary regardless of how gorgeous the pattern is.
Sure you're probably thinking "but Kinko's has self service", very true, but if I'm going to get out, drive somewhere, and pay a ridiculous price for ink on paper I would like to be served. They offer service, I will take it, partially because I will admit I'm somewhat of a dumbass when it comes to technical stuff and I'd rather have someone do it right the first time so I'm not spending hours playing the trial and error game.
One time I went into a Kinko's and I had placed an order, and the color on my print was /completely/ off from my image file. To give you an example, picture Cookie Monster as a deep forest green, and that's how off the image was, no exaggerating. So I tell the guy that no, this is wrong, could he please tweak the color and make it look like what was on the screen even if it means dinking around in Photoshop, and he gave me the most glass melting look ever, clenched my proof, turned around and yelled "JESUS F****ING CHRIST, WHAT THE F**** EVER!" and stormed of. o_O
You better believe I told a manager.
